Tasks are things you need to do. They’re not tasks, cause you don’t need to do them.

I would like to know what games you’re playing where none of the achievements are just do a lot of X. Kill things in Y way, or with Z weapon. Or better, do a part of the game that you have to do to finish the game at all.

That’s what achievements are, and have always been.

At the same time, a lot of the achievements are quite pointless, and add absolutely nothing to the game that achievements that reward the player for doing something difficult, or discovering a hidden place.

Getting a certain amount of skill points, doing a certain amount of DE’s. These are pointless achievements, since you’d accomplish them anyway, the Slayer titles; you don’t need to actually do anything special to get them. It’s like giving a person a well done for getting through college, regardless of the grade they recieve.

I’m going to have to ask you the exact same question, apparently. What games are you playing where this is not the case?

Guild Wars. Titles could be considered tasks/achievements

… because you don’t “achieve” anything. You just do activities over and over again til you are bored and quit.
